Honestly, I've cried a few times over GnR, I'm not going to lie.I just get extremely bummed out to see old shit of when they were together.But I've realized we can't dwell on the past, and we'll just have to get used to the new GnR or not.Myself I like the new GnR, given I'm a HUGE Axl supporter in everything he does.
And I'm also with you on idolizing Axl, I myself see Axl as a God in my eyes, lol.I also find myself defending Axl constantly.Especially on Youtube where people talk mass shit about him, it hurts my feelings when people talk shit about him.
Everyone else in the original line up went out and did their own thing, some of them did theirs together [Velvet Revolver] and while everyone else is still out pursuing their music career, fans just expect Axl to sit back and not do anything with his life.People get so pissed off when they wish they'd gotten the chance to see the classic line up [myself being one of those] before the new GnR, but you can't change the past.And if you're a true fan you'll stick around and be a fan no matter who the line up is with Axl.I prefer the classic line up, but I still like the new GnR.I'm glad Axl isn't just sitting back and letting everything slowly pass him by [nowadays anyways, glad he's not a recluse anymore lol] I'm glad Axl is still giving us good music [even though we've been waiting over 10 years for Chinese Democracy.] I'm just glad Axl isn't a recluse anymore because he deserves to pursue his music just like everyone else is.He can't just sit around and hope that the band will get back together.Axl has put ALOT of time and ALOT of money into this new album, if he didn't care about his fans he would have said fuck it back in like 1995 after Slash left.Even though it took him like 5 or more years, he's picked up the pieces and reformed and replaced.And I respect him for everything he's done, and everything he's doing. Axl has a huge ego, but then again what great front man doesn't?I love Slash and I love Axl, it'd be great to see them together again.I can only have 'faith' that the classic line up will get back together, before it's way too late.[Like before one of them dies, I'm so glad Steven didn't].Slash said earlier at the beginning of this year that GnR may be in the rock n roll hall of fame within the next few years, he said maybe if that happens there could possibly be a reunion but he said he's not much into the future more than he is into the NOW, so we'll just have to see how things play out from now until then.
And people are always talking about his braids.I heard Axl has had a hair thinning problem since earlier in his career, so he got the braids to make his hair look fuller.And Axl isn't really fat like everyone tries to say, Axl is still pretty small, deff. not as small as he used to be but if you think Axl's fat, you obviously don't live in America.He's normal size compared to half of America, which is obese..He's in his 40's alot of people do look different 20 something years later, he's not 25 anymore.Not everyone is going to age the same as the other.If Axl is comfortable with himself now then let him be, ya know?I still think he's cute, and I know alot of other chicks do too.And I still think he's got a voice of an angel.There is never and will never be another like Axl Rose.And if anyone doesn't like Axl now, I know he could give two shits less.He's probably just thinking, 'Live and let die motherfuckers!'
However, it takes two to apologize.Axl needs to start realizing that what happened, happened over 15 years ago so he needs to stop being bitter about it and just mend the friendships he had with Slash and Duff, because him and Izzy obviously have worked shit out, and Steven said in an interview that he called Axl one night and they talked for hours about shit and cleared the air about alot of stuff, and he said they laughed alot..Both Axl and Slash aren't going to back down, so it may take 10 more years before they end up being friends again or atleast apologizing.But you never know, tomorrows a new day..anything could happen.
"I Want Some Glam RockingZ in My StockingZ!!!" 
I loved that show when it was on, yeah I'll totally watch it. Amen to what you said above, the only person you can really trust is yourself and nobody should let anybody walk over them, that has been my philosophy and I am with you on that, alot of people don't like me because I have small patience for people who try to dish shit out to me.
